More than 100 kids from the YMCA 70th Street Preschool in North Long Beach were surprised with toys collected by Councilman Rex Richardson’s office on Thursday morning.

The toys were raised through Richardson’s annual holiday party with the North Long Beach Neighborhood Association at his home this month, where his guests donate unwrapped toys, he said.

Richardson’s team usually donates the toys to the Pools of Hope toy drive, but this year they got twice the amount they needed, so they donated about 110 toys to the preschool.

His 4-year-old daughter Alina helped Richardson play Santa Claus to the kids by handing out the toys.

“I wanted her to be a part of this,” Richardson said. “She’s learning that a big part of the holidays is sharing.”
